2666: hedonismo narrativo para contener el caos

Abstract

This article reviews Roberto Bolaño’s novel 2666 from a hermeneutical approach and gives special attention to the author’s formal decisions. The extension of the novel and its overall structure into five parts, separated in terms of editing but strongly interconnected thematically and in form, require a critical dialogue between them. Analysis of three resources used by the author in his writing (blocks of narrative, time management, character system) and its connection with the isotopies present in the work reveals an effective narrative system that reflects the phylogenetic condition of the literary object as well as the symbiosis of aesthetics and ethics.
